A compilation of clips from my time staying right by the Maroochy estuary, Queensland, Australia, from mid November to mid December. I couldn't help but get up early each morning to look at the gorgeous landscape and admire the changing light throughout the day, the changing tide revealing vast sandbanks, and listen to the variety of birdlife sounds that occasionally broke the tranquility. ...n...

Three days in Sydney, and despite some wet weather at times, it was stunning! - the iconic bridge and opera house undoubtedly the centre pieces of the city spectacle, and rightly so. A great city in arguably the most beautiful natural harbour in the world. (One of a series of short films from a 4 week trip to Australia) Music: "Carry Me Back Home" by Mercy Street, "Dismantle" by Peter Sandberg ...

The delightful rainbow lorikeets - seen everywhere on the Sunshine Coast I suppose much in the same way we see pigeons here in the UK! But for a visitor like me, it's hard not to be attracted to these exotically coloured little parrots. They're everywhere.... or at least you can hear them everywhere, but trying to film them without a long lens when they're often perched up high in the trees was...

The mesmerising emergence of thousands of tiny soldier crabs at low tide on a warm late afternoon as they gather en masse - scooping up the sand to filter it, and feeding on the detritus from the particles. Renowned for being the only crabs in the world that walk forwards as opposed to sideways (like a normal crab!), the thousands of little holes scattered all over the sandbanks with their corr...

Gentle Sunday morning sailing in the bay - starting with barely a breath of wind a force 2 picked up by the time everyone was on the water ...increasing to a force 3 at times - plenty enough to push the Dart 15 catamarans along nicely.

Sunday morning racing at Shanklin Sailing Club.

Music (courtesy of Epidemic Sound): "You Know what I Want" by Staffan Carlen and "Wishing on You" by Isaac Elliott Camera: GoPro Hero 8 (i...

“Isle of Wight Scooter Rally 2024 - a very British gathering”. This massive scooter rally traditionally takes place over the August bank holiday weekend, attracting thousands of scooterists from across the UK and from further afield. The huge variety of scooter styles on display and their riders, is eye candy for anyone with a camera. Even better when the sun shines! Filmed over three days, I s...

Dart 15 catamarans from Shanklin Sailing Club race together on a gusty afternoon - Tuesday 20th August 2024. Deceptively flat water within Sandown Bay belies the fact it was blowing a decent force 5 a little way offshore. Liam Thom (www.countypress.co.uk/news/17889768.isle-wight-sailor-celebrates-return-home-circumnavigating-britain-catamaran/) once again led the pack to a convincing win, and h...

Sunday morning racing at Shanklin Sailing Club. ...Only a light breeze, but enough to push along the Dart 15 catamarans quite nicely. The usual format of two races on a Sunday morning - the first, on this occasion, being a 'Pursuit' race where those at the lower end of the leaderboard (including myself!) set off first starting from the shore followed at one minute intervals by those higher up t...
